Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 6 ounces instant pistachio pudding mix (2 boxes)
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed

Crust

  • 1 9-inch graham cracker pie crust

Decoration

  • Whipped cream or Cool Whip for decorating
  • Maraschino cherries for decorating

Instructions

  1. Combine Cream Cheese and Pudding Mix: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and instant pistachio pudding mix using an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.
  2. Add Milk: Slowly pour in the milk while continuing to beat the mixture. Continue mixing until the pudding is thick and creamy with no lumps remaining.
  3. Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the pudding mixture using a spatula to keep the filling light and airy.
  4. Fill Pie Crust: Pour the creamy pistachio filling into the graham cracker pie crust and spread it evenly to ensure a smooth top layer.
  5. Chill: Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the filling to set properly.
  6. Decorate and Serve: Once set, decorate the top with whipped cream or Cool Whip, and garnish with maraschino cherries before serving.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
  • Ensure the Cool Whip is completely thawed before folding to avoid lumps.
  • Allow adequate chilling time for the pie to set firmly.
  • For a nutty crunch, sprinkle chopped pistachios on top before serving.
  • This pie is best served chilled and should be stored in the refrigerator.
